Commercial Building Permit in Unincorporated Beaver County, Utah
Required for new commercial construction in unincorporated Beaver County. Beaver County publishes only ONE generic, valuation-based 'Building' permit fee line ('Determined by the Current IBC/IRC') for all building permits — there is no separate commercial dollar table, commercial plan-review percentage, plan-review deposit, or commercial-specific document checklist anywhere in the county's official Fee Schedule, Building Permit Requirements page, or Permits page. The same fee line, application process, and document set documented for the county's Residential Building Permit applies to commercial projects.

Tips
- No separate commercial fee, plan-review percentage, or commercial document checklist is published anywhere on beaver.utah.gov — re-verified 2026-07-19 by direct PDF extraction of the county's Fee Schedule. Call the Building Department at (435) 438-6484 for a project-specific commercial fee estimate before applying.
- Determine your parcel prefix before applying — 01-/02- is unincorporated county (this file); 03- is Beaver City (separate system); 04- is Minersville; 05- is Milford. See the residential permit type's tips for the full breakdown.
- Because Beaver County's own materials do not spell out commercial-specific engineering/soils requirements, confirm directly with the Building Department whether a site-specific soils report or a stamped structural engineer's plan set will be required for your specific commercial project before submitting.
- No separate 'Change of Use' or 'Certificate of Occupancy' permit, application, or fee line exists in Beaver County's materials — the county's Building Permit Requirements page (beaver.utah.gov/204/Building-Permit-Requirements, live-checked 2026-07-20) groups a change of occupancy into the same general permit trigger as construction: 'Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure... shall first make application to the building official and obtain the required permit.' The 2025 Fee Schedule PDF has no line item for occupancy or change-of-use review distinct from this Commercial Building Permit's general fees. Consistent with this file's existing sign-permit and fire-sprinkler/alarm coverage gaps, Beaver County simply does not publish a distinct process for this online.
